depends how do you send the files and whether they are "public" or should only be accessible to mail recipients. In its simplest form, it could be scp $file [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/var/www/files/ cp message.template message.tmp echo "" >> message.tmp echo "http://www.example.com/maillink/$file"; >> message.tmp sendmail -f $sender $recipients < message.tmp rm message.tmp and configure apache so that /maillink/ uses /var/www/files (Alias directive, ... etc). and use cron to purge old files. if the files are not public, use a "secret" filename. if you want to track access, use a different filename for each recipient (you can use ln to avoid copying the files multiple times).
